Chet,
A couple of key questions:
1. How will your equipment be used? Is it to be used within a telephone
central office ( CCTV) or is it to be used at a broadcast station?
2. Who will be the customer of your equipment?
3. Who will be performing servicing? If you can say your company, or
" qualified service personnel" that will help you considerably.
FCC Part 68 is geared for non-central office use. It is designed to protect
the telephone network and personnel from harm. If your customer is a
Regional Bell Operating Company (RBOC), yes, they will most likely ask for
NEBS. If your equipment is co-located at the CO, then some of the NEBS
requirements may not apply.
If your equipment runs off commercial ac, uses an inverter, or is to be used as
Customer Premise Equipment (CPE), you will most likely have to get a product
safety evaluation through a Nationally Recognized Test Laboratory (NRTL) such
as , but not limited to UL, ETL, MET, CSA, TUV.
It can be a steep learning curve.. Some of the work you can do yourself,
but if speed is the essence, you may want to contact a reputable test lab
convenient to you.
Good luck!
